Had Brendan custom this up for me. Not equal length, but should be better flow than log-style





Bottom mount mani for T3/T4Yes, it still has a bit of stryo packing material stuck to it...Check them at:www.psiracing.com

$550, and took about 2 weeks.

The ports are nice, but are not angle-ground or anything like that.

Here is a closer view of one of the runner inlets:

Here are a couple of pics of my old cracked stainless mani I'm replacing with this new mild steel one from PSI:



Pic is a bit out of focus, but this one shows the nice crack all around the turbo flange, and a hole near the flange.

do you have a pic of your engine bay with everything installed, even with the old mani?

No, unfortunately I was too lazy to take any pics while it was all together...

or maybe my cam was broken, there were too many sunspots, the moon was full (or some other random excuse...):rolleyes

Clearance from the brake cylinder was pretty good as I recall. The only thing that really had a clearance prob was the wastegate being REALLY close to the left strut tower. (oh, and I took out the AC, so no clearance probs on the AC lines!)

I'll get some posted once I get everything back in there.

Getting this custom mani that sits the turbo in the same place as my old mani did will definitely save me some IC and downpipe repiping expenses...

That's a big part of the reason I decided to go this way

Don't know who made it.

I bought it with a bunch of parts from a guy in CA about 2 years ago...

Most of the rest of the stuff I got from him was really good, just a crappy manifold.

manifold looks great let me know how it turns out. I may buy one. Also can you order from their website or did you have to place a specialty order. Thank. Nick

Thanks for the comments.

I'll definitely take some pics when I get it in my car. (hopefully soon!!!)

I sent Brendan the old mani so he could make sure the t3 flange on this one would end up in the same place, so it was a complete custom order for him. I did mention to him that others on NICO might be interested after seeing it, and he said he could make more, but I don't think he's planning a big 20 unit group buy or anything like that anytime soon!!! (esp since so many people seem to like the top-mount stuff more for some reason...)

PSI will make custom parts for Nissans, Hondas, Toyotas, whatever (check out their 7.86 sec 2.0l (3s-gte) Corolla!)[CENTER]http://www.PSIRacing.com[/CENTER]
